1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundFew studies have been designed to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG), and a retrospective study of a large patient cohort is valuable before conducting randomized controlled clinical trials.

resultsAmong all patients, age, tumor location, histologic type, pT stage, pN stage and pTNM stage significantly differed between the LATG group and OTG group. After the propensity score matching, the clinicopathological characteristics did not significantly differ between groups. The operation time, estimated blood loss, time to first flatus and the number of retrieved lymph nodes ( MATERIALS AND

methodsWe prospectively collected data from 1096 patients who underwent total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Propensity score matching was applied to compare the covariates between the LATG group and the open total gastrectomy (OTG) group. Operative outcomes and long-term outcomes were compared between the two groups.

conclusionsImplementation of LATG for gastric cancer is a safe, reliable and minimally invasive procedure with long-term outcomes similar to those of OTG. Further randomized controlled clinical trials can be conducted to provide valuable evidence of the safety and efficacy of LATG in treating gastric cancer.
